Essential Mac Utilities: text expanders
"The overall win, however (this time at least), goes to TextExpander, because of its support for syncing, creating expansions from selected text, and executing shell scripts in expansions. These features push it slightly ahead of TypeIt4Me, and help justify its higher price tag."
-Macworld.com, Rob Griffiths

PDFpen: 2009 Macworld Editors Choice Award
"When it comes to modifying PDFs, Smile’s PDFPen 4.5 fits neatly between OS X’s free Preview and Adobe’s $449 Acrobat Pro. At only $50, it goes well beyond Preview’s PDF processing power, yet it offers some of the same features you’ll find in the much more costly Acrobat Pro. ... PDFPen may not be the most exciting product among this year’s Eddys, but it’s certainly one of the most useful."
-Macworld.com, Rob Griffiths
